Theft offenses can range from a class C misdemeanor for a theft of less than $50 all the way up to a serious felony. No matter what type of charge you are facing, all theft offenses should be taken very seriously. A conviction on any theft charge will create a permanent criminal record which can be seen by prospective employers, creditors, landlords and others.

Even a minor shoplifting charge can have a devastating impact on your future. Be sure that you have an experienced criminal defense attorney representing you who understands the law and will fight to protect your interests. At the law firm of Mark Morales & Associates, P.C., we represent clients across central Texas in a variety of theft cases.

In many cases, we will work with the alleged victim and try to help you make restitution. We also negotiate with the prosecutors in an effort to reach the most favorable result possible. For many first-time offenders in Williamson County or Hays County, we will apply for the Pre-Trial Intervention Program which can result in the dismissal of the case. There are specific requirements that must be met for admission and completion of the program, but it is a good way to keep your record clean of you qualify.

  Shoplifting

  Writing bad checks

  Theft by fraud

  Credit card theft

  Credit card abuse

  Forgery

  Burglary
